Alone he is a little weak but the cool part about Exalted is that (a little ironically) that the more Exalted creatures you have the more powerful your single attacker becomes. In this same set there are plenty of worthwhile 1 and 2 cmc Exalted creatures. This guy could be swinging for as much as 6/6 on turn 4. Not huge but if you consider you would still have 3 other blockers that's pretty aggressive.

I am going to assume his flavor revolves around him being a mercenary/rogue and relying on others to pay him to go do tougher jobs.

And yet another instance where black Exalted makes absolutely zero sense. Why does he aid people that are attacking alone? I can understand why he might benefit from working alone, but he doesn't. In an Exalted deck he'd have tons of buddies cheering his sneakiness on.
Black Exalted is just stupid. Wtf Wizards?

I like the card, and like exalted in black when the flavor is right (Nefarox!), but this has exalted why?

I think exalted is reflected in the idea that this guy likes to work alone. Or something along those lines.

I don't see the flavour reason for exalted on this card at all.

The Exalted ability doesn't jive well with its creature types. I mean, Vampire is fair enough, I can imagine a Vampire Knight or something, but Rogue?! How the hell can a rogue be Exalted?!

Underrated. M13 has a perfect mana curve for black exalted - Duty-Bound Dead, Knight of Infamy and Servant of Nefarox make this guy a hasty 6/6 on turn four. Two turns later you get out the overlord himself. Okay, you're unlikely to get that perfect setup right off the bat and individually the cards aren't great, but black has all sorts of shenanigans for dealing with problems like that. It's half of UB control for a reason.
I've won games off the back of this guy, 3.5/5 minimum.
